80,000 Rub Martindale Abrasion Testing for Synthetic Silicone Leather

Martindale Abrasion Testing of Silicon X Series Synthetic Leather

MICOOSON supplies synthetic leather materials with different surface finishes and backing constructions.

For buyers evaluating abrasion-resistant synthetic leather, laboratory testing can provide useful information about the resistance of a material to surface wear under defined conditions.

MICOOSON has third-party Martindale abrasion testing documentation for a submitted sample identified as Synthetic Silicone Leather with Suede Backing – Silicon X Series.

The test report records a Pass result against an 80,000-rub requirement under ISO 12947-2:2016.

What Is the Martindale Abrasion Test?

The Martindale abrasion test is commonly used to assess the abrasion resistance of textile and coated textile materials.

ISO 12947-2:2016 specifies a method for determining specimen breakdown during abrasion testing.

The method evaluates the behaviour of a test specimen under defined laboratory conditions, including specified pressure and repeated rubbing.

Martindale test results can help material buyers compare performance requirements, but results from different test conditions should not automatically be treated as equivalent.

Silicon X Series Abrasion Test Report Information

The test report identifies the following information:

  • Report Number: 304148831a 001

  • Report Date: November 19, 2025

  • Sample Description: Synthetic silicone Leather with suede backing – Silicon X Series

  • Color: Black

  • Tested Material: Coated textile

  • Material Number: M001

  • Test Method: ISO 12947-2:2016

  • Nominal Pressure: 12 kPa

  • Required Number of Rubs: 80,000

  • Reported Number of Rubs to Breakdown: At least 80,000

  • Test Conclusion: Pass

The findings relate to the tested material identified in the report.

The test result should not be interpreted as a guarantee that every MICOOSON synthetic leather product will achieve the same performance.

What Does 80,000 Rubs Mean?

In the Martindale test, rubs refer to repeated abrasion movements applied to a test specimen under defined laboratory conditions.

The MICOOSON Silicon X Series sample was evaluated against a requirement of 80,000 rubs.

The report records a result of at least 80,000 rubs to specimen breakdown and an overall Pass conclusion.

This indicates that the tested sample satisfied the specified abrasion requirement under the documented test conditions.

It does not establish the exact maximum abrasion life of the material or guarantee a particular service life in real-world use.

Material Composition and Construction

The submitted test sample was described as synthetic silicone leather with suede backing.

According to the material composition declared by the applicant in the test report, the sample contained:

  • 75% Polyester

  • 5% PU

  • 19.8% EPU

  • 0.2% Silicone

The tested sample was black and identified as a coated textile.

Buyers should verify product composition, surface coating, backing structure and production specifications when requesting similar materials.

Why Is Abrasion Resistance Important for Synthetic Leather?

Abrasion resistance is an important material performance characteristic for products that may experience repeated contact, friction or surface wear.

When evaluating synthetic leather, buyers should consider:

  • Intended product application

  • Surface finish and coating structure

  • Backing material

  • Martindale testing method

  • Test pressure

  • Required number of rubs

  • Specimen breakdown criteria

  • Applicable customer specifications

  • Material grade and production batch

The abrasion result of a laboratory sample does not replace application-specific testing of the final product.

Frequently Asked Questions

What Is Martindale Abrasion Resistance Testing?

Martindale abrasion testing evaluates the resistance of a material to repeated rubbing under standardized laboratory conditions.

Does MICOOSON Have an 80,000-Rub Martindale Test Report?

Yes. MICOOSON has third-party abrasion testing documentation for a submitted Silicon X Series synthetic leather sample evaluated against an 80,000-rub requirement.

What Standard Was Used for the Test?

The report identifies ISO 12947-2:2016 as the test method.

What Was the Recorded Test Result?

The report records at least 80,000 rubs to specimen breakdown and a Pass conclusion for the tested sample.

What Pressure Was Used During Testing?

The documented nominal pressure was 12 kPa.

Does 80,000 Rubs Mean the Material Will Last for 80,000 Uses?

No. Laboratory rub counts are not directly equivalent to the number of real-world uses or years of product service life.

Does This Test Result Apply to Every MICOOSON Synthetic Leather Product?

No. The test result applies to the submitted sample and conditions documented in the report.

Is a Martindale Test Report the Same as Product Certification?

No. A test report records testing performed on a sample. It does not automatically constitute product certification.

Can Buyers Request Abrasion Testing Documentation?

Customers can contact MICOOSON to enquire about material specifications, available samples and applicable abrasion testing documentation.
